[The Pentateuch]

And the Lord said unto Moses: gather unto me .lxx. of the elders of Israel / which thou knowest that they are the elders of y• people ⟨image 270⟩and officers over them / and bring them unto the tabernacle of witness / and let them stand there with thee. And I will come down and talk with the there / and take of y• spirit which is upon thee and put upon them / and they shall bear with them the burden of the people / and so shalt thou not bear alone.

And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: gather vnto me .lxx. of the elders of Ysrael / which thou knowest that they are the elders of y• people ⟨image 270⟩and officers ouer them / and brynge them vnto the tabernacle of witnesse / and let them stonde there with the. And I wyll come doune and talke with the there / and take of y• spirite which is apon the and put apon them / ād they shall bere with them the burthen of the people / and so shalt thou not beare alone.

And say unto y• people: hallow your selves against to morrow / that ye may eat flesh for ye have whined in the ears of the Lord saying: who shall give us flesh to eat / for we were happy when we were in Egypt? therefore the Lord will give you flesh / and ye shall •ate: Ye shall not eat one day only other .ij. or .v. days / other .x. or .xx. days: but even a month long / and until it come out at the nostrils of you / that ye be ready to perbrake: because that ye have cast y• Lord a side which is among you / and have wept before him saying: why came we out of Egypt.
